Business Continuity Management

In Nomura Group, natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, man-made disasters such as fires and terrorism, infectious diseases such as the COVID-19, system failures, and information asset leaks are considered as crisis events that must be prepared for. In order to respond to such an event, we have a comprehensive global business continuity management framework and are working on a broad range of measures, including awareness raising activities for our officers and employees.

Nomura Group has organized the Nomura Group Crisis Management Committee and Nomura Group Physical Security Management Committee to continually strengthen business continuity management in Japan as well as outside of Japan. In the event of a major disaster, the committee establishes a command center and takes appropriate measures to ensure the safety of our clients, officers, and employees, control the spread of damage, and maintain business continuity arrangements.
